William previously shared his love for his father Prince Charles, so it’s no wonder he and Kate settled on Charlotte- “I just really hold him in great admiration.” However, a rep from Ladbrokes previously stated that Charlotte could mean a huge loss for betting houses. “Bookies all over the UK are hoping and praying for any name other than Alice, Charlotte, Victoria, Elizabeth, Olivia, Alexandra or Diana.
A gamble on Charlotte is showing no signs of slowing down and although Alice will be the worst result for us, Charlotte will also prove very costly following the amount of bets we've taken on it. We've already paid out a substantial six-figure sum on the royal baby being a girl, so we have our fingers crossed that Will and Kate opt for a name outside the top three in the betting.”
